Relaxing in Paradise

This was our 2nd time staying at the cottage. Again, everything was perfect and we totally relaxed. We visit Maui every couple of years and we hope to continue to stay here as it will be hard to stay anyplace else! Banana bread is an added bonus.

Another stay in paradise!

We have been lucky enough to stay at this wonderful property and it is always an amazing experience. Our family loves the private outdoor area and pool - it makes you feel like you have your own tropical oasis. The owner is kind, caring and responsive. She is always available and easy to contact, yet makes sure you have all the privacy you want during your stay. This property is a true gem!

The cottage offers every imaginable outdoor amenity plus beautifully decorated, fully equipped accommodations. Loved having all the beach gear on hand. Attention to detail shows throughout the property. Location was perfect for beach access, groceries and restaurants. Our faves were the outdoor shower and incredible star gazing.

Paradise was ours!

When I booked Aunty Kali's Cottage, I never imagined that paradise would be ours for a week. I'll tell you that the pictures really don't do it justice. The views of the ocean at sunset, the beautiful native plants and flowers, and even the wildlife (mongooses and all!). Having a pool and bar even made the cottage the Happy Hour spot for our family to come to before dinner. Aunty Kali was also amazing, greeting us with a warm smile and a delicious homemade banana bread. She was so attentive and hospitable and we will, without doubt, be returning time and time again.

Happiest place on earth

Move over Disneyland, we found THE most magical place on earth. We booked this cottage for our 30th Anniversary, looking for a private, relaxing getaway, and we were not disappointed! From the moment we stepped through the double doors to the PRIVATE pool/outdoor bar/outdoor barbecue and 2 separate outdoor showers, it was breathtakingly beautiful and by far exceeded our expectations! The cottage is beautiful, very clean (I didn’t see one bug in the house our entire stay) and very well stocked with everything you need to prepare your own meals. It definitely had the home away from home feel. The cottage may be in the back of the hosts home, however, they did a great job of separating the two so it is extremely private with your own entrance. We rarely saw the hosts (giving us our privacy) but they were available if we needed anything. Thank you Carrie and family for making our anniversary stay unforgettable. We couldn’t have found a more incredible place to stay!

Auntie Kali's Cottage is a gem rental on Maui. Located around Kihei, it is a perfect central location to explore the island, but far enough off the beaten track to provide the kind of privacy we preferred during our stay. Carrie was a wonderful host and made sure we lacked for nothing. She attended to any issue we had with speed and dedication. We knew we were in good care the whole time.The cottage itself, with its two quaint bedrooms and baths, was perfect for our needs. The beds were both spacious and comfortable. The kitchen provided all the modern convince anyone could want, plus a wide array of cookware to use.Grill Masters, be prepared for one of the best gas-grill experiences you can imagine.The real lure (and rightfully so) of the property is the private pool and bar area. The pool is a nice size for general swim, with a solid hot tub attached. The slanted, "beach entry," was very convenient. Behind the pool, the full-size bar had any tool you would need to create a mean cocktail.My favorite part of the stay was the outdoor shower. Provided with privacy and incredible vistas. I felt like I was in another world, perhaps Oz. I highly recommend anyone who wants a unique, private experience on Maui to consider Auntie Kali's Cottage. It is a first-rate experience for any traveler.

My husband and I visited in September for our anniversary. This is an absolutely stunning property with everything you need and more. The pool and hot tub are glorious and the tiki bar, outdoor shower, grill, and fire pit made you not want to leave the property! Great care has been taken to make sure guests are comfortable here. Please note that Maui county requires the property manager to be onsite, so you are on the hosts' property. While you have doors leading to your property, you are asked to not lock them meaning the owner can and will walk in at any time. We were a bit taken aback by this as it's not something we've ever experienced with hosts before (usually they will call and ask if they need to access your space while you are there). So, as a result, it never felt quite private to us, but the beauty and comfort of this property made up for it. We highly recommend!

First off, what an absolutely beautiful place. Carrie thought of everything, and the cottage was literally perfect for us and the kids. The pool was outstanding, as were the tradewinds off the ocean. OH! And the stars at night…WOW.The grill…the pool…the fire pit…all amazing. Plus, she set us up with the most relaxing Thai massages and with a snorkeling charter where we swam with sea turtles and a monk seal. We are absolutely coming back again next year!

If we could live here permanently...

Auntie Kali's cottage is magical. Plain and simple. I knew it would be special just looking at the pictures, but even those can't capture just how wonderful it is. It is a private oasis; we found it hard to leave and explore Maui on any given day! Of course the pool is incredible, and we enjoyed using the grill and fire pit to make s'mores. The home is so incredibly comfortable, with quite literally anything you could possibly need to make your stay perfect. We arrived to an abundance of fruit (some grown right on the property!), homemade banana bread, and such wonderful hospitality from Carrie, the owner. It is located close to beaches, shopping, and restaurants, but when you're behind those doors, it is as if you are far, far away in your own special resort that is 100% yours! There is no doubt...this place is very special.

Our family of 4 stayed for a week and a half and I can’t say enough good things about our time there. The property is so much better than the photos can convey, it really is a little piece of paradise. We enjoyed the privacy of having the pool and outdoor kitchen/bar, the view of the ocean and Molokini, and the house itself had everything we needed and more. Truly a special place!

The best

We've stayed at this property multiple times over multiple years. It is by far the best place to stay that we've experienced in decades of traveling to Maui. The host (Carrie) is pleasant and caring and really wants to make sure that you have a great time while you're on site and has become someone who we look forward to seeing every year. The house itself is a great size (not too big, not too small), but the real special part are the outside areas that allow for pure relaxation. You'll see amazing sunsets while relaxing alongside the pool. It's as good as it gets.

About the host

Hosted by Carrie Williams

Host profile image
Carrie Williams, later known as Auntie Kali, is a registered nurse who began a journey in 2004 to pursue a second dream in life. Born and raised by loving parents in Downy, California, Carrie later moved to Huntington Beach, where at the young age of 22 began her nursing career of 33 years, at Hoag Memorial Hospital.

Her first dream was to be married and have a family, but for reasons that will never be known, she lost her husband to a massive heart attack, at the young age of 46. With her faith, time, and support of family and friends she has been able to see her dream come true by opening Auntie Kali’s Cottage, September of 2013.

If you’re wondering where the name Auntie Kali came from, it’s Carrie’s Hawaiian name. Although she has no children of her own, she has always been Auntie to all of her friends and family and loves kids. She enjoys entertaining and hopes to share hers and many others' labor of love with those who choose to come visit her, somewhere over the rainbow at Auntie Kali’s Cottage.
